(Also, it's short! That is one of the great things about middle-grade books. There, I said it.)<br /><br />On a mostly-unrelated note, have you gotten a copy of Diamond Ruby yet? It's being published as an adult book, but it's definitely a YA crossover - and the main character is a girl who plays baseball in 1920s Brooklyn.Sarah Rettgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520851723152425929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127278217542074877.post-7973237983739418402010-03-02T13:54:32.098-05:002010-03-02T13:54:32.098-05:00Uri Orlev has a new MG novel coming out in April c...Uri Orlev has a new MG novel coming out in April called The Song of The Whales <br /><br />It set in Isreal. Its a beautiful story and has nothing to do with the Holocaust. <br /><br />While I was reading an arc of the book, I had a mantra going. <br /><br />Please don't turn a Holocaust. <br /><br />And thankfully it never did.Dorethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676911030014718403noreply@blogger.com
